Oscar Ribeiro de Almeida Niemeyer Soares Filho
(December 15, 1907 – December 5, 2012), known as Oscar Niemeyer, was a Brazilian architect who is considered to be one of the key figures in the development of modern architecture. Niemeyer was best known for his design of civic buildings for Brasília, a planned city that became Brazil's capital in 1960, as well as his collaboration with other architects on the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. His exploration of the aesthetic possibilities of reinforced concrete was highly influential in the late 20th and early 21st centuries

National library of france
Bibliothèque Nationale de France (The National Library of France) was built in 1996, replacing an old structure, located near the Louvre .
The building consists of four 24-story towers, shaped as open books, all overlooking a beautiful inner garden. The main reading room areas are open and airy, with lots of glass providing the extra light so often lacking in old, dingy libraries. The furniture is ultra-modern yet comfortable, warm yet sleek, fashioned from a variety of woods.
Villa Mairea
The Gullichsens were a wealthy couple and members of the Ahlström family. They told Aalto that he should regard it as 'an experimental house'. Aalto seems to have treated the house as an opportunity to bring together all the themes that had been preoccupying him in his work to that point but had not been able to include them in actual buildings
Glass house new canaan
The Glass House or Johnson house, built in 1949 in New Canaan, Connecticut, was designed by Philip Johnson as his own residence, and "universally viewed as having been derived from" the Farnsworth House design, according to Alice T. Friedman. Johnson curate an exhibit of Mies van der Rohe work at the Museum of Modern Art in 1947, featuring a model of the glass Farnsworth House.
Vanna Venturi House
It was designed by architect Robert Venturi for his mother Vanna Venturi, and constructed between 1962 -1964.
The house was sold in 1973 and remains a private residence.
The five room house stands only about 30 feet (9 m) tall at the top of the chimney, but has a monumental front facade, an effect achieved by intentionally manipulating the architectural elements that indicate a building's scale.
A non-structural applique arch and "hole in the wall" windows, among other elements, together with Venturi's book Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture were an open challenge to Modernist orthodoxy .
TWA Airport
The TWA Flight Center or Trans World Flight Center, opened in 1962 as a standalone terminal at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) for Trans World Airlines .
Though portions of the original complex, designed by Eero Saarinen, have been demolished, the Saarinen-designed terminal (or head house) has been renovated, partially encircled by and serving as a ceremonial entrance[3] to a new adjacent terminal completed in 2005. Together, the old and new buildings comprise JetBlue Airways' JFK operations and are known collectively as Terminal 5 or simply T5.
Arch Defense
The Grande Arche de la Défense is a modern triumphal arch built at the end of
the 20th century in La Défense, Paris's modern business district.
The arch marks the end of the Triumphal Way, the east-west axis that connects the Louvre with La Défense.
The Arche is in the approximate shape of a cube (width: 108m, height: 110m, depth: 112m); it has been suggested that the structure looks like a hypercube (a tesseract) projected onto the three-dimensional world.[1] It has a prestressed concrete frame covered with glass and Carrara marble from Italy and was built by the French civil engineering company Bouygues
